Opens and the bug are still saying News 4, but anchors and reporters are saying the new brand on-air and it’s showed up in some graphics.

KMOV has changed their branding from News 4 to First Alert 4.

Every O&O is getting the full look. This stuff takes time to implement.

Also, that means three out of four of the existing indies (KTXA, WBFS, WSBK and WLNY) will be airing it in primetime as well. Not KCAL, for obvious reasons.

Wendy will now take over as president and CEO.

Something notable from CBS’ press release about 48 Hours entering syndication next month:

Raiders have adopted the Raycom Sports scorebug, but everything else is the 2015 NBC Sports pack.

Cowboys with a new look this season, inspired by the Prime Video TNF look.

Here’s a promo announcing KBCW’s rebrand to KPIX+.

Lions: Bally again. Dolphins: same as last year. Bengals: same as last year.

The Seahawks broadcast was such a technical disaster last night, NFL Network switched to the Vikings feed.

With preseason starting in earnest tonight, it’s time for the annual TVNT NFL Preseason Graphics Roundup! Patriots: no change from last year. Texans: no change from last year.

New court show: Cutlers Court, with husband-and-wife duo Dana and Keith Cutler of Couples Court fame. Sold in 80% of the country.

Effectively succeeding KRON’s 8 and 9pm newscasts, when they sign on with The CW. Interesting there’s no 10pm. I guess CBS is going to continue with Now News after all?

Longtime KDFW traffic reporter Chip Waggoner is going off the air for the rest of the year because he was employed by a traffic agency and has decided to leave that company to join Fox full-time. He’ll return in early 2024, when he is an official Fox employee.

Interesting how they haven’t claimed texas21.com yet.

CBS has registered the following domains: philly57.com detroit50.com bayarea44.com newyork55.com pittsburgh19.com losangeles9.com atlanta69.com

Update: these are syndicated half-hour reruns they’re testing. There’s a play-at-home game:

KTXA is airing it. Checked their schedule, it’s there for the rest of the week.

KDFW ran Fox’s Name That Tune today at 12:30. The rerun was half of an episode that aired in primetime. I wonder if Fox is testing NTT for a possible half-hour strip.

Their new afternoon schedule is: 2pm - Drew Barrymore (both halves, since that show is keeping the half-hour format) 3pm - LMAD 4pm - News

WBBM is moving Drew Barrymore back to 2pm this fall. (h/t @24994J)

If anything, they’d be bound for Gray. WINK-WXCW is already being run like a Gray shop.

Appears Gray is now paying royalties to CBS for Next Weather.

Minor change to NBC’s scorebug. The play clock is now within the time/quarter circle, rather than popping out from the bottom of the circle.
